Now on sale, the game is $40 on console and $30 on PC.
That's where I got the $20 from.
Honestly, no matter how good portal 2 is, I feel that 60$ was still to high for a game with essentially only 1 game mode.
Think about it, you only have 1 game mode that you can play inpdentdtly, it's not a sandbox or free roam which allows you to play as you please.
The only multiplzayer requires you to know to somone else, you can't just join a game.
One of the reasons why halo, call of duty, etc, and sandbox games are popular is because the extend the play time, in games with single player and multiplayer, the replay value it high, and with sandboxes you can just mess around.
Games that only have a linear mode have much less content, even if that content is amazing, it's still only 5 hours of pure awesome instead of hundreds of hours of great.
That said, I still have yet to pick up Portal 2, so....

You'd have to pay me $40 to set foot in a Gamestop, and the $40 I paid for the steam version (I split the two pack with a friend) is reasonable.
So I'm not worked up about this.

I would be really cautious with buying Portal 2 from the states, it has insanely bad region locking. I bought a copy in Europe and when I came home to the states for Easter Break, I entered my code, tried to install, whoops you can only play this game in the region you bought it in.Alexander Sverchkov said:
I've been fighting valve damn near 2 weeks to get this fixed and I've pretty much gotten no where
1) Because their response time is usually 2 days and
2)(From my experience) don't even read your complaint, they just copy and paste from their FAQ.
And if you get a copy form a different region and get stuck in my situation good luck ever getting a playable portal 2 copy on your account. I've been asking them for days to remove my region locked copy from my account, my question/complaint submitted to them says "I have a region locked copy of Portal 2 on my account, please remove it so I can buy a copy in which the region my gaming computer is in"
Response: You must buy a copy of Portal 2 in your current region.
Me: Yes I know that, but I can't buy a copy of the game when the region locked one is still on my account.

I've seriously had it up to hear with the absolutely terrible support system they have.
/rant end.
Just and FYI.
I called my local Gamestop, and they did say that Portal 2 is on sale this weekend only for $30. The sale ends at closing time tomorrow, and it's not for digital download. Methinks I might have to take advantage of this opportunity.
It's only a two day sale, not a permanent price reduction. I have no problems with this whatsoever.

Portal 2 isn't worth 40$ or even 25$. It's worth 5 or 8$ because thats how much it costs to rent it. Rent it when a friend is over, beat it in 8 hours over the course of 5 days (singleplayer and co-op combined) and return it. Great game, 0 replay value, 5 bucks.
Uh may I ask why? I mean I can kinda understand some games but Portal 2?Zeetchmen said:
Pirating a game when people clearly put their heart and sole into is about the worst thing you can do. Its downright insulting to the developer even if your poor a game like Portal 2 is not worthy of piracy under any circumstances. Now go make a steam account and buy Portal 2 like you should have done in the first place.
Gamestop is shooting themselves in the foot here. Lowering the price that drastically that soon after release may SEEM like a smooth move, but what of the people who preordered from them? They'll be less likely to do so next time, expecting the company to pull a similar move down the line on the next highly-anticipated game.
And retailers LOVE preorders.

Mmh, why did you despise it? I couldn't find a flaw in the gameplay, nor in the characters. Ofc, the story is not really good,because there really is not much of a story but the background is getting better and better. I thought it was/is a fine Zombiegame, with an high focus on sticking togheter.Katana314 said:
